Peter Cuocolo’s career in the hospitality industry started in 1987 when he created “White Glove Affairs,” a highly sophisticated Meetings, Events, Wedding Planning and Destination Management Company in New York City. White Glove Affairs was a trendy and very progressive company. He featured upscale and unique venues for all his events. These locations included: Yachts, mansions, penthouses, lofts, atriums, ballrooms, museums, private clubs and other unique locations throughout the New York Tri-State area. Once Cuocolo made his mark in the NYC lime- light he sold his business in 1996. From 1996 through 1999, Cuocolo was director of sales and marketing at the VIP Country Club, New Rochelle, NY and the Huntington Conference Center, Huntington, NY. He next ventured into the medical education industry as a senior meeting planner at Ventiv Health Communications, EDU Medical Management and IntraMed. Peter moved to Charlotte in December, 2004. Peter quickly accepted a position at the Hilton Charlotte University Place Hotel as National Sales Manager until October 2007. He accepted a similar position at the Omni Charlotte Hotel where he worked until February 2010. He decided it was time to venture out on his own again to establish his new destination management company, the Charlotte Special Events Group. Cuocolo is well known in Charlotte, NC and through-out the states as being a creative and “make it happen” professional in the hospitality industry. There is nothing that can’t be done. Only your imagination can hold you back. This has been Cuocolo’s philosophy since 1987!]]>
